Seems reasonable that there could be 6000 or so Icelandic speakers outside Iceland.

Many live and work abroad, plus there's several pockets of Icelanders in various countries, like one notable group in Western Canada as you'd see in places like Gimli, Manitoba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli,_Manitoba

It's not clear how many still speak Icelandic, but there's heritage.
